The eyebrows and eyes are still beautiful, but covered by such a terrifying scar, no beauty is left.
She was dazed for a while on the steps, and raised her face to look in the direction of the grassland.
That vast and vast land is within sight and close at hand, but I can never go back in this life.
Just like her youth, beauty, and the first half of her life of enjoying wealth for more than 20 years, the spark disappeared in a flash.
"Aunt Mei is going to buy groceries?" A neighbor passed by and greeted hurriedly, as if he didn't want to look up at her face, he walked past the wall, not waiting for her to respond.
She said "hmm", floating lonely in the wind of Yuzhou in early winter.
Aunt May.
Everyone in Saner Lane and the Supervisory Academy called her that. No one cared about how old she was or what her full name was.
But only she knows.
She is not yet thirty this year.
Only she herself remembers that she once had a name as beautiful as herself.
Meadow.
In the past, on the grassland, even the king of the grassland would respectfully call her a princess-like woman, but now she is the aunt who cooks in the Yuzhou Military Academy.
That year, she conspired with Kelie to have an affair with Dayue, killed Dapeng among the Eight Biao, and almost destroyed the night attack on Baitouya. After that, Kelie was seriously injured. They stayed in the grassland, but the remaining seven of Babiao roamed the grassland all day long with swords and arrows on their backs, assuming that they would not stop digging three feet to find her out. Staying in the grassland again, with a shy face, she wanted to go back to the home of the owner of the Texas horse farm she married. Who knew that the family had been ransacked by the angry Yao Yangyu for poisoning the grain and grass, and she had nowhere to go. Going to live in Yuzhou, with no food and clothing and a bad living environment, the injuries on her body caused by Klein gradually worsened, and finally spread to the whole body, the stench was overwhelming, and everyone avoided her. When she was cowering in a broken sack waiting to die, she met Xin Ziyan.
The head of Xin Yuan, who is wild and casual, sympathizes with the poor, and never minds helping others. Since then, there has been an Aunt Mei in the Military Academy.
Aunt Mei was unwilling to be Aunt Mei. One night, she knelt at Xin Ziyan's knees, told her story in tears, and asked Mr. Xin to help her return to the grassland. Of course, she concealed the fact that she sold the grassland.
Xin Ziyan is not a blind and troublesome person, he is only interested in what she said about He Lianzheng personally delivering food and grass for Wei Zhi, and asked her a lot about Wei Zhi and He Lianzheng, but finally asked her After An Xin stayed in the Military Supervisory Academy, he found someone to treat her and take care of her for the rest of her life. As for the grassland, he still didn't want to go back.
From then on, she stayed on the edge of the grassland in despair, and was destined to walk the whole journey humbly forever.
The October cold wind rushed from the grassland, cutting her face as sharp as a knife, Mei Duo did not evade, took a deep breath of the grass-like wind, and missed the milk cake, glutinous rice cake and buttered tea.
However, this life will never be enough. Those people, the most honorable young man in the grassland she loved, the person she saved, abandoned her in the end, neglected her, trampled on her, and left her alone in the world. Tossing and struggling, and struggling forever.
How fierce the love was back then, how dark the hatred is now.
She stood silently for a while, and went to buy vegetables with a vegetable basket on her shoulders. No matter how hard she felt in her heart, the vegetables still had to be cooked.
After buying vegetables, I passed the yamen of Yuzhou Prefecture. A yamen servant poked his head out, saw her bright eyes, and waved repeatedly: "Aunt Mei, Aunt Mei, you came just in time. Come, help us clean the master's study, and go up to the peak." I have to come to inspect urgently, but a case has occurred in the countryside, my lord has brought many people to the countryside, and there is no one to work in the house, so you can help me."
The magistrate of Yuzhou Prefecture is stingy. Normally, the government office doesn’t need to serve people, and all the miscellaneous tasks are undertaken by the government servants. When they are too busy, they will be transferred to these people who are usually taken care of by the government and lead the court relief money. Mei Duo is also used to it. Put down the food basket and go to the back house.
She went into the study in a familiar way, cleaned up, tidied up, and sorted the various slips scattered on the desk, and suddenly stopped.
Immediately, she slowly pulled out her hand, and in her palm was an ordinary official document with a white cover, which had been cut and looked at, and it looked nothing out of the ordinary.
But she had a strange look in her eyes, staring closely at a little light brown color revealed in the white cover. She was very familiar with this color and pattern.
Growing up in the Royal Court of the Grassland, she certainly recognized that this was the secret letter paper specially used by the secret guards of the Royal Court. It is hemp, tough, and not easy to break, so it is easy for men on horseback to carry it.
How could the secret letter from the Grassland Royal Court appear on the desk of the Yuzhou government
After thinking about it, she also understood that the imperial court has always respected and guarded against the grassland. As the border city closest to the grassland, Yuzhou must have a special scout line to investigate the grassland situation. The intercepted secret letters from the royal court, but the secret letters from the royal court were always delivered in the ancient font unique to the Huzhuo tribe. How could the officials of the Yuzhou government recognize it? Probably regarded it as something unimportant and threw it here casually.
As she weighed the letter, her heart suddenly jumped a few times.
As if there was a sudden bang, a door with a gleam of light opened in the eternal darkness in front of him.
She didn't know what was behind the door, but she would never be willing to ask her not to open the door at this moment.
Mei Duo pulled out the letter almost without hesitation.
Sure enough, it is the ancient language of Huzhuo. The font looks more like children's graffiti, which can confuse people who don't know it, so even if it is intercepted, there is no need to be nervous.
No one knows, the world is a coincidence, the damned person is not dead, after many twists and turns, it is close to the fateful arrangement.
Mei Duo hurriedly read it and frowned.
The letter said that the previous batch of horses had arrived, and the transaction was pleasant. It will be cold soon, and the grassland needs to store grain to prepare for shortages, so another batch can be shipped. Not there, no one to cover it up, it is suggested to change the road, even if there are some setbacks, safety is the first thing.
There is another sentence at the end, saying that the father of the country was deeply disapproved of the recent news that was too calm, and felt that someone must be deceiving, so he asked the king if he heard any news in the country, and forwarded it to him in time.
